Random Thursday

I desperately need more "blue". (Blue is the "color" on the personality scale for compassion, sympathy, etc.) Yesterday, Joe pulled a muscle in his back. He thinks it was from carrying Levi funny in his car seat. I think it was from weight-lifting and then he tweaked it with the car seat. I wasn't trying to be uncaring or suspicious of his injury, but I know I was not conveying a deep concern. Last night, it finally occurred to me to see if I could do something to help him, but I guess my attempts were so awkward that I ended up making it worse by causing him to laugh too hard.

Caleb informed me yesterday in the car that his favorite song is "The Battle Belongs to the Lord", with "I'm in the Lord's Army". Such a boy... Oh, #3 favorite is "Heaven is a Wonderful Place", the way Mr. Parker at church leads it. I forgot, his other all-time favorite is "Our God is an Awesome God" (and yes, he knows all the verses, even though I'm quite sure he is not sure what he is always singing since he asked me what "the Ritz" is, and I'm pretty sure we haven't covered Sodom in Toddler bible class).

Today we had a little friend come over after school, and he and Caleb played SO hard. He has quite the agenda: air hockey, riding in his Jeep , "camping" in his Thomas tent, dinosaur hunting, flying airplanes, racing cars, and playing trains. Wait, that about sums up every day, with a little "Dino Dan" thrown in.

Oh, I nearly hyperventilated earlier. I decided to use Picassa for my photos and I did my first download from my camera. I told it to only delete pics that were copied, but after it was through, I looked at my camera and it was black... no pictures. I had a bunch of ADORABLE ones I will post soon of Levi with some blocks and a wagon. I kept turning it on/off... really, quite disturbed (crying, etc.). Only to realize that the batteries were low and when I unplugged it from the cord, they came up. Whew. Disaster averted for one day. And if you have ever tried taking good pics of your kids, you know what I mean.
